Welcome!  If you're interested in lessons or just curious about what I'm up to next, this is the place!

I'm always restless for a new sound so, in addition to Bass, Drums, and Guitar, I play Mandolin, Uke, Lap Steel, Banjo, Spoons, and Saw.  Hailing from hipster Olympia, escaping to Bellingham, and finally settling in Portland OR, I've enjoyed (by the skin of my teeth) the life of a working musician.  

I've played with many different artists, styles and collaborations.  Notably, Everything's Jake, The Libertine Belles, The Ground, The Ben Macy Trio, Well Swung, Jackstraw, The Pagan Jug Band, The Marten's Combination, The Rocky Butte Wranglers,  Jobo Shakins, Smut City Jelly Roll Society, The Shark Skin Revue, Swingtown Vipers, The Tony Starlight Show, Mother Bunch, Fast Rattler, The Strangled Darlings, and Professor Gall. 

I also head up my own band The Hot Club Time Machine playing guitar, saw, and holding down vocals, reluctantly.  

I'm honored to have shared the experience of making music with Jeff Coffin (of Bela Fleck), Utah Phillips (Ani DiFranco), and shared the stage with Dave Holland (Miles Davis) and Jolie Holland (of the Be Good Tanyas).
